Two men detained as Met police say anyone suspected of marching to site of soldier's murder will be arrested
Two English Defence League leaders arrested as they attempted to visit the spot where Drummer Lee Rigby was murdered have been released on bail.
EDL leader Tommy Robinson and his co-leader Kevin Carroll were detained by police on suspicion of obstructing officers outside Aldgate East station in east London as they attempted to stage what they claimed was a charity walk to Woolwich Barracks via the East London Mosque.
In a statement posted on the EDL's Twitter feed, the group said: "Tommy Robinson & Kev Caroll arrested for obstructing the police and carted off."
They were bailed on Saturday night to return to a police station in August with two other men who were arrested on suspicion of assault, a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
Throughout the morning the pair posted pictures on Twitter at London landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, The Mall and the July 7 Memorial in Hyde Park.
The Metropolitan Police said anyone trying to march to Woolwich would be arrested and imposed a route for the walk between Hyde Park Corner and Old Palace Yard, opposite the House of Lords.
In footage posted on YouTube, police can be seen escorting Robinson and Carroll near Aldgate East. The pair then appear to have a scuffle with two other men walking alongside them.
Robinson and Carroll had intended to lay flowers in memory of Drummer Rigby in Woolwich.
Scotland Yard said it had imposed conditions due to fears that both the march and gathering would "result in serious public disorder and serious disruption to the life of the community" and a breach of the conditions would be a criminal offence.
The police said attempts had been made to discuss the march and gathering with the EDL and offered it two alternative routes that avoided Tower Hamlets, home to the East London Mosque.
Alan Green, chairman of the Tower Hamlets Inter Faith Forum, said an open day was taking place at the mosque on Saturday.
Green said: "We are aware that there are those who are fearful of Islam and who seek to undermine the harmony that exists between the faith communities in this borough. Our unity here today makes it very clear that they will not succeed."
